Lawlor on Hatfield: “Full force racist enabler”

Whatever happened to when they go low, we go high? Malloy administration budget official Michael Lawlor refers to Republican attorney general hopeful Susan Hatfield as a “full force racist enabler” in a social media post.

Republican Hatfield has taken a leave from the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney to pursue her political ambitions. Lawlor enjoys a wide brief on criminal justice policy from his perch in the Office of Policy and Management. If Lawlor knows something about Hatfield’s conduct as a public official, he should have something before now.

Hatfield was an eager Trump supporter in 2016 and may find this invites the sort of tactics her hero often employs as he degrades public discourse.
